On the night of March 2, 1962, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, right up the street from the chocolate factory, Wilt Chamberlain, a young and striking athlete celebrated as the Big Dipper, scored one hundred points in a game against the New York Knickerbockers.As historic and revolutionary as the achievement was, it remains shrouded in myth. The game was not televised; no New York sportswriters showed up; and a fourteen-year-old local boy ran onto the court when Chamberlain scored his hundredth point, shook his hand, and then ran off with the basketball. In telling the story of this remarkable night, author Gary M. Pomerantz brings to life a lost world of American sports.http://probasketball.about.com/gi/dynamic/...crown%2Fwilt%2F
wow good find. I was listening to the 100th point audio. he said,"He misses it,throaws it up again,he misses it, shoots again, its good" something like that wow he must of been killing the boards
Damn... That's crazy. My brother and I sat around listening to the whole thing. Wilt missed a bunch of shots, but he still hit that 100. The fans, for only 4,000 or so in attendance, sounded like 40,000 every time Wilt scored.
Wilt's stat line that night was: 100 points, 25 rebounds and 2 assists.Wow, he had time to get two assists!
